I kinda get your point, but also If you watch enough news you realize there is no W here. It’s all meaningless because Trump owns SCOTUS and they have the final say.
EDIT: No, SCOTUS isn’t beholden to Trump but electing him is in their interests.
EDIT2: Well I certainly hope yall are right and they won’t let him on the ballot but I’m not holding my breath.
SCOTUS isn’t beholden to anyone. Not even Trump. Once they were confirmed they don’t need a thing from him and have that office until they die. Sure they have a right leaning majority, but they still seem pretty cognizant that there rulings can be used by democrats too, so handing wins to Trump isn’t exactly straight forward. If they claim Trump has immunity while in office and after leaving, that applies to the current administration too. It would be a huge gamble to rule in favor of Trump on this appeal and I don’t think they want to open that can of worms while someone else can take advantage of it.
Not to mention, even if Trump gets out of this scot free, the results of the n xt election are far from certain. Biden could be welding thos immunity powers for the next four years too.
They’ve ruled against him a lot. They could have thrown a huge wrench into the election by allowing Texas to sue PA, buy they didn’t it. If he owned it, it would go the other way.
SCOTUS is laden with Federalist Society conservative wackjobs, but they (aside from Thomas and Alito a bit) have zero love for Trump. They’re more than happy to side with him when it serves long-term conservative principles and aims, but that have demonstrated zero hesitation when his policies and pleadings don’t align with their own.
Except the Trump presidency does coincide with their aims. Trump would Usher in the greatest destruction of the federal government in US history. He’s the federalist society’s dream. He has no morals or Scruples he does whatever his advisors tell him and his advisors are from the Federalist Society.
While you’re almost certainly right… this is your response to what should be a tiny bit of good news? Maybe it’s time for a break from the news?
I mean, what would you have done if they had ruled in favor of immunity instead of denying it??
As for me, I’ll take the w here.

They’re killing Chevron without him. Maybe read something instead of harvesting takes from YouTube and Twitter, my dude.
But him winning the presidency does align with their goals. So yeah, saying he owns them is wrong, but it’s how they’re gonna vote.
Not really.
